Workshops
Alutiiq Museum Tour, Alutiiq Museum Lobby (215 Mission Rd)
Patrick Saltonstall will lead a tour of archeological collections at the Alutiiq Museum
and discuss their availability to marine scientists.
ShoreZone User Workshop, KSMSC (118 Trident Way)
This workshop will focus on describing the ShoreZone coastal habitat mapping project
in Alaska and its many applications. Discussion will cover oil spill response planning
and response, search and rescue capabilities, essential fish habitat identification, and
recent updates to the ShoreZone protocol and new data layers such as coastal vulner-
ability, Shore Stations, and Fish Atlas.
Communicating Science: Bridging Scientists and Communities, KSMSC (118 Trident
Way)
This workshop will provide skills and tips to researchers, educators, and community
members about partnering to collect scientific information, to clarify the “so what” of
research, and to apply it. The workshop will also focus on the “how tos” of using two
outreach strategies: community-based film-making and citizen science projects. Learn
about what is already happening in Kodiak and participate in discussion of new projects.
COASST training, KSMSC (118 Trident Way)
COASST volunteers collect data on beach-cast carcasses of marine birds to establish
the baseline pattern of bird deposition on North Pacific beaches. Data collected helps
address important marine conservation issues and protect marine resources.
